If you Tivo'd Fringe tonight, you might have found that the last five minutes or more were cut off due the American Idol running long. If that happened to you, don't worry - FringeTelevision has got your back! Here are the final scenes from Fringe episode "Inner Child".

UPDATE: In a strange move, FOX has pulled some of my videos from YouTube... Here is the same thing from Hulu, just in case.

Did you miss the last part of Fringe because of American Idol?

Thank you for the ending I was going crazy trying to find it. Again THANK YOU!

Thanks so much for this. Why can't Fox put something like this up on their own web site? I would have had to wait a long time before beingable to see the whole episode on theirweb site. They just don't get it. At least the other networks only make you wait a few hours to see them on theirs.

It's because American Idol is LIVE, and they can't predict that the show will go over. The same thing happens to shows that follow football games. There's not really anything that can be done, other than pad your recording by 10-30 mins.

I was so pleased with myself when I realized I could see the last few minutes of American Idol by playing back the first few minutes of Fringe. (I wouldn't have even been aggravated if it had been anybody but Lambert that I missed.) Then it hit me -- I was probably going to miss the last few minutes of Fringe. Sure enough, I just played it back and no ending. Yeah, Olivia probably killed the artist but what about the little boy?? Many thanks ... you just saved me from spending the rest of my day off in a snit!

Thank you very much!!! I'd heard about the American Idol run-over, but I never thought about it impacting one of my favorite shows until I started watching it on my DVR tonight. It would have driven me nuts not to know what happened, and as quickly as possible! Thanks again.

thank you - FOX should thank you big time - cant believe they treat thier viewers like this - watch a series - get hooked - just like they want you to then cut 5 mins off the end all becuase of one of the worst "shows" on TV "idol"
